        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>syncloop</em></span> is a variation on <span class="emphasis"><em>syncgrain</em></span>,
which implements synchronous granular synthesis. 
<span class="emphasis"><em>syncloop</em></span> adds loop start and end points and an optional start position. Loop start
and end control grain start positions, so the actual grains can go beyond the loop
points (if the loop points are not at the extremes of the table), enabling
seamless crossfading. For more information on the granular synthesis process,
check the <a class="link" href="syncgrain.html" title="syncgrain"><em class="citetitle">syncgrain</em></a> manual page.

        <h2>Syntax</h2>
        <pre class="synopsis">asig <span class="command"><strong>syncloop</strong></span> kamp, kfreq, kpitch, kgrsize, kprate, klstart, \
      klend, ifun1, ifun2, iolaps[,istart, iskip]</pre>
      </div>

        <a id="idp154617184"></a>
        <h2>Initialization</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>ifun1</em></span> -- source signal function table. Deferred-allocation tables (see
      <a class="link" href="GEN01.html" title="GEN01"><em class="citetitle">GEN01</em></a>) 
are accepted, but the opcode expects a mono source.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>ifun2</em></span> -- grain envelope function table.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>iolaps</em></span> -- maximum number of overlaps,
      max(<span class="emphasis"><em>kfreq</em></span>)*max(<span class="emphasis"><em>kgrsize</em></span>). Estimating
	  a large value should not affect performance, but execeeding this value will probably have disastrous
	  consequences.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>istart</em></span> -- starting point of synthesis in secs (defaults to 0).
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>iskip </em></span> -- if 1, the opcode initialisation is skipped, for tied notes, performance
continues from the position in the loop where the previous note stopped. The default, 0, does not skip
initialisation
    </p>
      </div>

        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kamp</em></span> -- amplitude scaling
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kfreq</em></span> -- frequency of grain generation, or density, in grains/sec.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kpitch</em></span> -- grain pitch scaling (1=normal pitch, &lt; 1 lower, &gt; 1 higher; negative, backwards)
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kgrsize</em></span> -- grain size in secs.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kprate</em></span> -- readout pointer rate, in grains. The value of 1 will advance 
the reading pointer 1 grain ahead in the source table. Larger values 
will time-compress and smaller values will time-expand the source signal. 
Negative values will cause the pointer to run backwards and zero will 
freeze it.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>klstart</em></span> -- loop start in secs.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>klend</em></span> -- loop end in secs.
